			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a project for MPOWER, a Workers&#8217; Center in Morton, MS.  <span id="more-53"></span>According to their site, they are:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;a membership-based workers&#8217; center that works to build healthy communities by promoting economic and social justice in the state&#8217;s poultry producing region and workplaces. We are a collaboration of poultry workers of diverse backgrounds, civil rights and immigrants&#8217; rights organizations, religious leaders, labor unions, employment justice groups, and other community partners.</p></blockquote>
<p>They had an old, hand-coded website that was difficult for them to maintain and update.  Not to mention a stingy web host.  They also wanted to consolidate and organize their data in a more useful way (Five excel sheets floating around causes problems).  So, I redesigned their site, installed a new content management system (<a title="Drupal CMS" href="http://drupal.org/" target="_blank">Drupal</a>), and a new &#8220;Constituent Relationship Management&#8221; system, <a title="CiviCRM" href="http://civicrm.org/" target="_blank">CiviCRM</a>.  Hosting was provided free by <a title="Higher Media" href="http://highermedia.com/" target="_blank">Higher Media</a> (Thanks Neil!  Check out his new documentary <a title="Our Bombs documentary" href="http://ourbombs.com/" target="_blank">Our Bombs</a>).</p>
<p>Please visit their site at <a title="MPOWER homepage" href="http://mpowercenter.org/" target="_blank">http://mpowercenter.org</a> and consider <a title="Support MPOWER" href="http://mpowercenter.org/support" target="_blank">making a donation</a> to support the important work that they do!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you might have noticed, i&#8217;m redesigning the site.  Hopefully it will be more useful and easy to manage as I transition into working more with photography.  The old site, designed by Neil at <a href="http://highermedia.com" title="Higher Media" target="_blank">Higher Media</a>, was fantastic, but this one has a very powerful photo gallery (gallery2) installed, and is based on <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" title="WordPress link" target="_blank">WordPress</a>, which I am more comfortable using.</p>
